wine users - Mar 2005 - Facing Problems with installing wine source

Hi,

 I downloaded the source file wine-20050211.tar.gz, extracted it and then
followed the instructions provided in the wine user guide. I did ./configure,
then make depend && make, then make install.

 Then, whenever I try to execute wine, it gives me an error message that it
could not find libwine.so.1

 What could be the problem? Further, I have a requirement of running Internet
Explorer thru' wine. Kindly help.

 Looking forward to your earliest response.

 Best Regards

 Vijay Krishnan

Hey,

To install wine from source, it's recommended that you run the 
$winesrc/tools/wineinstall script. However, I believe what you did works
too.

As for not being able to find libwine.so.1, you could try running (as
root) 'ldconfig'. However, this should happen everytime you boot your
computer, so if you've rebooted and it still doesn't work then I
don't
think that's the problem.

I recommend installing from source again using the wineinstall script,
as I had no problem using it. If you've kept your source directory in
tact already compiled, I do not believe it will build it again, just
install it.

I'll think about this some more, and if I come up with another answer,
I'll post it.

Good luck,
Scott.

Check the file /etc/ld.so.conf and see whether it contains 
"/usr/local/lib" (assuming that is where the Wine library is). If it
is
not there, add the entry and then (as root) execute "ldconfig".
